That remains me of a cartoon I once saw of two cavemen sitting around. One says:
"I don't get it. All our food is organic. We don't use any plastic or toxic chemicals. No drugs. We get exercise every day. And our life expectancy is still 35!"
There was a lot of awful shit in the premodern era, from plagues, to famines, diseases or body issues with no treatment, etc. We have it easy today.
Covid would have been a "bad year" in the premodern era. Not a global meltdown like we have seen.
The virus has a 99.7% survivability rate. With proper diet (vitamins and minerals) why would you even consider a man made gene manipulation injection?
How did humanity survive many millennia before this?

Oh, and the mentally ... slow ... were ... "given back to Nature."
Oh, THAT'S why they didn't have progressives....
Natural Selection - it isn't just for non-humans!
What is the survivability rate? I've seen 99.7% cited but I've also seen 99.98 or something cited as well.
Depends on your age group and comorbidities. An obese diabetic 100 year old is going to have a much lower survival rate than a healthy 15 year old.
I've seen both. I think the 99.7% is the overall survival/recovery rate.
